Clause 12

The President may by order grant to the Institute any State land for the purposes of the Institute subject to such restrictions, conditions and prohibitions relating to the use, occupation or disposition of the land as may be specified in the order.

Where any immovable property, not being State land, is needed for the purpose of the Institute and cannot be acquired by agreement, the Institute may request and the President may if he thinks fit direct the acquisition of the immovable property; in such a case the immovable property may be acquired in accordance with the provisions of any written law relating to the acquisition of land for a public purpose, and any declaration required to be made under any such written law that the property is so needed may be made (notwithstanding that compensation is to be paid out of the funds of the Institute) and shall have effect as if it were a declaration that the land is needed for a public purpose made in accordance with such written law.

Expenses and compensation in respect of any immovable property acquired under subsection (2) shall be paid by the Institute.

All State land granted or immovable property acquired under this section shall vest in the Institute and an entry to that effect shall be made in the appropriate register by the appropriate registering authority.
